Dum Dum Dah Dum...Dum Dum Dah Dum

Heading to the Portland area?! 

Burgerville's NW Chocolate Cherry shake for me Please! Oh Yeah!
On Friday June 5th Jaime and I were lucky enough to take a short overnight trip to Portland sans kids. (Thanks to his parents.) We did a bit of shopping then he dropped me off to Christy's bridal shower. Jaime went and met up with Darin, Brian, and Jeremiah, and some other guys who were together for Darin's "Bachelor Party." When did paint balling become a bachelor party? But it was a safer alternative...or was it? There were a lot of bruises and even a bloody nose!
After the bridal shower Jaime and I went out to dinner and then drove to the temple to walk around.



The last time Jaime and I came to the Portland temple together was August 30, 2003 when we were sealed together. 
But that's not why we came; although it's a good reason to go! Maybe we should go again at the end of August for say....an anniversary celebration? (Hint, hint. hahaha)
Now, back to why we are here...

 Here comes the bride. And the Groom!

Yeaaaa Darin and Christy are married!

They're so cute. A great couple.

Their wedding was absolutely beautiful! I loved the words the sealer had to share.
I don't remember what was said to Jaime and I when we first went to the temple so hearing the advice from other sealers is good for me. 

Makaela is my new niece!

Weddings make me remember how I felt when Jaime and I were first married. Sheer bliss and happiness!

Off to the luncheon after pictures.

Emily, Jeremiah, and Shelby.

I'm still crazy for this guy. I think we have the best marriage!

We were lucky to see Brian again. He made the long flight for a quick stay at Emily's to be able to go to Darin's wedding. I love it when I can hang with all my brother's and sisters.

I think they're so much fun! Lori and Brian shared a booth with us. There was lots of laughter from our table. I can laugh and joke with my family and have so much fun that most people don't see that side of me. It's true, my family is my best friends.

For Unto Us A Child Is Born

On Wednesday December 16th I went to the hospital at 7 a.m. to start my induction. I was already dialated to a 3 and dr. said if I wanted to have the baby I could. I didn't want to be in the hospital or recovering too close to Christmas with my entire family home for the season so I said sure! I was finally underway at 8 a.m. with pitocin. The rest of the morning and afternoon was spent in boredom and watching tv with Jaime at my side. At around 12:45 the dr. came to break my water because that usually gets things going quick. My kids have all arrived shortly after the water breaks. However, since the baby's head kind of floated up he decided to wait a bit to not risk the umbilical cord coming out first or wringing around the baby's neck. Bummer! I was so disappointed. So, on to more waiting, turning up the pitocin...again. Finally at 3:30 p.m. I was having some strong contractions and dialated 5-6. My mother-in-law came to visit at 4 and Jaime told her that it would probab

SURPISE!!!!

Image
Yes, this is true. And yes....this will be our newest addition to the family. You think you're surprised! Just imagine how surprised I was! Big time let me tell you. And in case you are wondering, I am just starting my first week of month number five. Yes, I am in my second trimester already. Hard to believe it's really gone that fast. I haven't been sick at all. It's been very nice. I could easily not know that I was pregnant because I don't feel like I am. This explains why I haven't been sick. It's a boy. I wasn't sick with Aidan either. I kind of figured it was a boy and this morning confirmed that it was. Here's the little guy in action. , We got up a little after 6 a.m. and got ready to head to the hospital. My mom showed up at 6:45 to watch the other three at home for us. Thanks Mom! We got to the hospital and you know the rest of the story there...boy. :) Everything looks to be good from what we saw but someone else will look

The Past Week...

Image
This past week has been a pretty laid back one. I've been getting things done on my own schedule...whenever I feel like it. Haha! Took the boys to the library, I've been making time (a.k.a. not working) to read a book for my own enjoyment, planted some flowers, made a few trips to the park with the kids, done a bit of shopping (grocery shopping at Winco is a lot of work with just me and the boys and I really have to gear up for it.), and I have been playing Sorry and Hi Ho Cherry O with Aidan quite a bit. So I have been busy just not with the normal stuff that keeps me busy on a daily basis.  I love browsing Costco with Jaime and my kids in the evening of a week day. It's not very crowded then. If there's a fun movie on the TVs we like to stop and watch a little. We stopped to watch a bit of the Avenger's in 3D...hence Aidan's glasses. :) I spent a day at Mom's with the boys. It was fun to be there with her and visit and do stuff like we used t
